This week I started a tradition at my work called: “The Daily Lunch Box”. Every morning I send out an email to my department concerning three to six really fun websites.
I stole this tradition from an old co-working who said that he used to do this practice several years back. I decided to resurrect the tradition because my head is so full of cool websites that it’s leaking all over the place.
I title it “The Daily Lunch Box” as a disclaimer. I informed my co-workers that the email should be investigated on their lunch break. I don’t think anyone at Oracle cares if they look at the sites not on their lunch break, but I am just covering my bases—you never know with corporate America!
I’ve decided to share these daily emails with my readers. Expect a daily, or close to daily, post on what I am sharing with my work. They are simple emails but the websites in the emails represent hours of surfing and playing on the web.
If you have any websites you would like to add to “The Daily Lunch Box,” just let me know. ~Paul W.

You want to be up on what’s happening in tech before the major news outlets get it? I’m enjoying techmeme: http://www.techmeme.com/
btw, a meme (’meem’) is a contagious idea that replicates like a virus and spreads.
Maybe I’m the last to know about it but I like it for blogging stories…
btw, I didn’t get the definition off Wikipedia - it was too stilted.

This seams like a wonderful place to put a shameless plug or the funniest site in the whole world! Better than watching your grandma trying to ride your pet poddle. It can only be http://www.forwardeverforward.com. If it is not the funniest thing in the world…(Well I was going to make some wierd threat here about me eating a ground hog or something, but with all the crazy things that happen on my website, some one might expect me to do it. I would rather report the stuff and not be the one who starts it).

I have to agree with Tyler. ForwareEverForward.com is a great site to find some of the most bizarre information on the web. Tyler generally emails me the stuff that doesn’t make the cut for his website because it’s too weird. All I have to say is that we live in interesting times, with interesting people! ~Paul W.
